I've come here several times with my family and it never disappoints. Whenever I'm craving…read moreTaiwanese dessert, this is where I go. This time we ordered the Shaved Ice Signature and the Black Sugar Boba Shaved Ice. The large portion is enough for 4-5 people to finish. The signature has a great balance overall and it is not too sweet, however the black sugar boba was on the sweeter side for me. The service was fast and the workers were friendly. Overall, it's a great summer's treat and cool down from the heat.

They are good for all weathers since there are cold and hot options for many of their items. This location is clean and with many seating options. The service is relatively quick, just pay attention to when they call your order upon completion. If I could give one suggestion, it would be to add sugar adjustment options to the desserts.

Unfortunately, the Matcha & Ube options were unavailable during our visit since the matcha machine was broken, which was a bit disappointing considering those were some of the flavors we were most excited for. (It's also my BF's favorite flavor combination). The Milk and Strawberry flavors were a bit too sweet for me personally, but I still enjoyed the overall flavor and texture (they're really good with this). I really wish we could've tried more of the menu, but unfortunately, the options we wanted just weren't available.

This location is small and there is one or two tables on one end, along with a stack of boxes that would look better tucked away somewhere else. The girl who took my order was pleasant and the waffle came out in about 5 minutes. The waffle itself was pretty good but got soft down towards the lower half. I'm not in Chinatown much nowadays, but if I'm craving a bubble waffle, I would be back.

As a smoothie enjoyer, this is one of my favorite places to stop by for drinks after a meal. Their…read morestrawberry shortcake smoothie is an absolute treat, almost too decadent to enjoy too often! The smoothies and their specialty lemon themed drinks are my go-to, fitting their namesake. Their regular Boba teas seem pretty par for the course among the many tea shops around though. I must say though, their service at this shop has been wildly inconsistent. Most of the time you get those "I'm just here to do my job" types, but I've had rude and uncaring cashiers as well as extraordinarily friendly ones as well.

Ordered: - sunset peach (refreshing, 75% sweetness was just right) - pandan oreo milkshake (SO GOOD) - house special coffee (to-go for next day, strong flavor!) I recommend getting drinks from here!

I first tried Tastea after receiving a coupon in the mail for their grand opening, and l've been…read moreback several times. Their drinks are super refreshing, and I really appreciate that they're not overly sweet like a lot of other places. The tea flavors are well-balanced, and there's a great variety to choose from, so there's always something new to try. The seasonal drinks are definitely worth checking out--they keep things interesting and are always a hit. Service has consistently been fast and friendly, which makes the experience even better. I also like that they offer both the standard 20 oz and 32 oz sizes depending on how thirsty you are. The inside has a really cute aesthetic, making it a nice spot to stop by, and there's plenty of parking available. Just keep in mind it can get a bit busy on weekends or holidays, so parking might take a little extra time. Overall, a great spot for quality tea and a quick, enjoyable visit-highly recommend!

Came here straight from Uncle Chin's Kitchen to wash down all the intense spices…read more Nước Mát (0%) - Definitely more of a dessert-style nước mát. I could tell by the vibrant green color that it was partially Thai-inspired. Still very delicious and not too sweet--they don't add any sugar to this, so the sweetness comes entirely from the jellies. It came with grass jelly, coconut jelly, basil seeds, and a variety of other toppings in an artichoke tea base. Honeydew Milk Tea - Okay--this was an instant "mmmm!" kind of vibe. It genuinely tasted like honeydew, albeit a bit artificial. It had a rich flavor, a vibrant green color, and wasn't too sweet. I wouldn't order this for myself, but I do love stealing sips from my BF's. (I was pretty sugared out at this point too.) The place is very spacious, and it's right next to bb.q Chicken, my favorite Korean fried chicken spot! It would also be a great place to study if you're looking for wide-open tables.

Plenty of customization options from Chocolate, Coconut, Coffee, Durian, Green Tea, Mango, Red Velvet, Strawberry, Taro, Thai tea, and cheesecake variants! With much more topping and syrup addons. My group got the Strawberry Cheesecake with Condensed milk, mochi, and graham cracker crumbles on top and loved it. The texture of the shaved ice felt great, very solid if you enjoy a thicker shaved ice treat. Pandan Waffle I haven't had one in years and I loved it. It's not overpowering and at the end of a day, still a waffle but it's great. Now combine a Pandan Waffle and the shaved ice? Oh man even better! Something a bit more unique about this place is they offer Halo Halo (A Filipino cold dessert) and of course Che (A Vietnamese cold dessert). Of course, being in Chinatown they have quite the competition with every block competing against each other Overall I would recommend Bambu for their dessert and drink options. Plenty of options to choose from from your classic milk teas, to blended coffees, smoothies, cold desserts, and shaved ice.
